Also called a journal bearing. 19.__-components attached to the shaft of the turbine. The motive fluid causes the turbine to spin by impinging on the rotating blades. 20.__-a rotating assembly of a turbine comprised of the shaft and the rotating blades, p. 168. 21.__a valve designed to constrict (throttle) the inlet steam to control the turbine speed and to shut down the turbine in the event of excess rotational speed or vibration. 22.__-a device that uses the combustion of natural gas to spin the turbine rotor. 23.__-a metal rotating component (spindle) that holds the blades and all rotating equipment in place. 24.__ -a device that contains a set of nozzles or stationary blades and moving blades, called a stage. Steam strainer-a mechanical device that removes impurities from the steam, 25.__-a chamber between the compressor and the turbine where the compressed air is mixed with fuel. The fuel is burned, increasing the temperature and pressure of the combustion gases. 26.__ a device that is driven by the pressure of high-velocity steam. 27.__Thrust (axial )bearing-a type of bearing designed to support and hold the rotor in place while offering minimum resistance to free rotation; prevents and offsets back- and-forth axial movement. 28.__a device in which exhaust steam is condensed in a surface condenser. The condensate is then recycled to the boiler. 29.__a housing component of a turbine that holds all moving parts (including the rotor, bearings, and seals) and is stationary. Knowledge 30.
